Summary

Between 1830 and 1962, Algiers underwent dramatic urban transformation under French colonial rule, resulting in irreversible alterations to its historic fabric. The study reveals that while new districts were built outside the Ottoman fortifications following European architectural trends, construction within the Kasbah—Algiers' 'White City'—led to significant loss of its original urban environment. This period saw profound social, economic, and spatial changes, reshaping Algiers from a traditional Mediterranean city into a modern colonial capital.
